Remember fraudsters will use the identity of legitimate people and organisations.

If in doubt always check out the contact details by ringing the number provided followed by using the internet to check out they are who they say they are.You can never be too careful.

If you do get scammed, always report to the police and also notify Avon. That way everyone is aware there is a problem.

The intelligence here is collated from Avon representatives who have stated they have been scammed and is a fraud risk indicator.

If in doubt, always check.

There are millions of internet transactions that are carried out daily without any problems. There are also a substantial amount that are not legitimate.

If you're reading this page, you are most probably an Avon representative who has been targetted by credit card/fake cheque or money order scammers. There are 2 ways in which this scam has operated until now;

- You receive an email order from someone who is not in your area, asking to pay by credit card and to have you ship the order to them. If , the credit card being used is stolen and the charge will be contested by the legitimate holder of the card. You may be left holding the bill for the charge and for the products you have sent.

- You receive an email order from someone not in your area who is asking for you to ship the order to them. They are offering to pay by cheque or money order. Once the order is placed, one of these scenarios may happen;

1. Your "client" sends you an email informing you that a mistake has been made on the cheque/money order and would you please return the "over payment" part to them by Western Union or Moneygram.

2. Your "client" may send you the full payment plus the shipping and ask that you pay the shipper directly. This will also be done by Western Union or Moneygram.

In both cases, the cheque or money order will come back as fake. This leaves you holding the bill for the products you have shipped, as well as for the money you now have missing from your bank account that you have already sent to the scammer. You could also be facing fraud charges with respect to your bank.

We update this site regularly with new names and email addresses that we have been provided that the fraudsters use but we use the posts section for detailing only the new orders that have been used by the fraudsters to target Avon reps. That way there is no duplication and you can see exactly what is going on and how you are being targeted.

The scammers have been using the same orders time and time again and mass emailing them to different representatives. We will list the most commonly used orders although in time this will change as the fraudsters will be reading this aswell.
